An EXTREMELY serious question for NRS right now...

Hehe, for those of you who weren't around for the leadup to Injustice, get ready.. Ed Boon parceled out character reveals like rare diamonds, over a looong period of time. When I got to PAX East in March, a month before release, there were still characters that were known only through leaks or second-hand info, and had never been played outside of testing. And not all of those characters were playable in the demo build even at that point :)

So in short -- it's going to be a fun, long next 5 months :D

Weren't we unsure if Smoke was even in the game until after release? I remember people freaking out first about him being in the game and then complaining about his hair. Pretty sure Quan Chi and Cyber Sub-Zero weren't announced, either. I really do hope there are a few that are surprises.

We learned about Smoke from the concept art on somebody's screen on the NRS website, but he was never confirmed. Nor was Quan, CSZ, or Sheeva. I don't think Kabal was mentioned either. Stryker eventually got a trailer, but I think it was the week of or the week after release.

Jade, Kano, Ermac, and Baraka turned up in other peoples trailers, but never actually got "revealed". Kintaro, Kenshi, and uh, someone else I can't remember were mentioned in a magazine, but there was still no footage of them until the game dropped.

Either way, both games had HUGE gaps of time with no intel. Literally, nothing. MKA was the last time they put together a website worth a damn, and MKvDC had MKasts to keep us interested but without Hans and Hector thats a dead deal.

Love them, or hate them, Capcom seem to do a really good job of Trailer reveals for all their games, and maintaining hype between trailers.

NRS and Boon are another kettle of fish. A reveal trailer then nothing for 7 week. I don't give a fuck about a screen shot of someone's boot. How about some more footage of actual characters already revealed, instead of us relying on people from around the world taking videos on their phone?

The reality is nrs does this every time and come release they will be the number one game on the sales charts for months. Capcom has never done that and never will, so they really have no incentive to change their policies.

Smoke actually ended up getting a single screen shot like a week before the game came out, exclusively on the xbox storefront page where no one could find it.

I think there was something about that grey dude which Kotal throws around on Sun god icon... Not sure if it's still a thing though.

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
let's presume that they keep the foreseen release date of april 14th .... if so, they have more or less 19 weeks forward , counting by now, to reveal all stuff they need in order to promote and marketing the game before it come out :oops:

Or they will do the reveals in a fast paced rhythm and hurry up once we enter in 2015, or they will, in fact, not reveal all characters after all, and let this for when the game really comes. :eek:

This second scenario, IMO it's really stupid in terms of marketing idea, because a lot of people has a certain characters as favorite, and knowing if they will be or not be in the final build , can interfere in the final purchase decision, in a customer point of view ..... from the day 1 release until a 2-3 weeks gap, it's where normally a game sales use to go better in sales numbers, so, not promoting as much as possible, simply can hurt/impact a lot the intial games sales .... :confused:

people wanna information and NRS and Ed Boon are doing poor job promoting the new game ..... none stuff after Quan Chi reveal ??.... more than 1 month without nothing solid and none real reveal ? c'mon NRS, you can do better than this .... :mad:
